PAHT-CF
PAHT-CF
Engineered for Extreme Conditions
This carbon‑fiber‑reinforced nylon offers tough-as-nails performance: tensile strength ≈ 92 MPa, bending strength ≈ 125 MPa, and bending modulus ≈ 4,230 MPa—ideal for parts that bear real stress and demand structural integrity.
High-Heat Toughness
With a heat deflection temperature near 194 °C and Vicat softening around 220 °C, this material resists warping and maintains shape even under sustained heat exposure.
Built to Withstand Water & Humidity
Absorbs significantly less moisture than standard PA-CF—about half—so parts retain up to ~85 % of their bending strength even when wet, instead of dropping 40–45 %.
Z‑Layer Integrity That Stands Up
Layer adhesion in the Z axis is improved—27 % stronger bending strength, 133 % higher impact resistance—so vertical parts resist cracking when dropped or stressed.
Mattes to Perfection
Chopped carbon fibers give a clean matte look that hides minor imperfections. The finished parts feel solid and look purposeful—from functional robotics to rugged enclosures.
🔧 Best For:
-
Load-bearing & structural parts: brackets, hinges, fixtures
-
High-temperature components: engine brackets, heat shields, industrial tooling
-
Humid or wet environments: marine components, fluid connectors, outdoor gear
